Abstract The novel antibacterial Ti-Ni-Ag coatings with various Ag contents (2.1 to 4.6 wt%)
were successfully fabricated on TiNi substrate using laser surface alloying. Microstructure …

Grade 5 titanium is the most widely used titanium alloy, but it has low tensile and shear
strength. Therefore, it is expected to have a high coefficient of friction, limiting the use of this …

The microstructural and functional behavior of TiNi-based wires with a silver content of 0–1.5
at.% was evaluated. The concentration range for Ag doping determined for the TiNi wires …

Sputtering is an effective technique for producing ultrathin films with diverse applications.
The review begins by providing an in-depth overview of the background, introducing the …

Bacterial infection and poor osseointegration are two critical issues that need to be solved
for long-term use of titanium implants. As such, Sr/Ag-containing TiO2 microporous coatings …
